The All-Ireland football qualifiers are in full swing today with a number of high profile teams in action that you wouldn't have expected to be taking the qualifier route.

Mayo welcome Derry to Castlebar for a 5pm throw-in, the same time as Donegal play Longford in Ballybofey. At 6pm, Meath will take on Sligo in Navan.

Mayo v Derry

Mayo have looked a long way off a side with legitimate All-Ireland ambitions after a stuttering league and championship campaign has left them charting a course through the qualifiers.

They take on a Derry side in the Round 2A Qualifiers who have had their own problems this year.

Stephen Rochford's side have home advantage with the game taking place in Elverys MacHale Park in Castlebar.

Donegal v Longford

Donegal and Longford bridge the gap to 2003 and their only previous Championship meeting as they face off in Ballybofey this evening.

Donegal won that tie, also played at MacCumhaill Park, 1-17 to 1-11 during what was current Longford boss Denis Connerton’s first stint in charge of the county team.

While Longford maintained their excellent first round qualifier record against Louth last time out, last year’s defeats of Down and Monaghan were an exception to the rule as they’ve tended to struggle to piece victories together.

It’s as kind a draw that Rory Gallagher could have hoped for after the Tyrone collapse and there appears little chance of his side not being in Monday morning’s draw.

Meath v Sligo

Just when Meath appeared to be shedding their flakey streak, they flopped badly against Kildare in the Leinster semi-final and Andy McEntee will do well to salvage something from the season on the back of it.

This is arguably the most intriguing qualifier tie of the weekend as Sligo will be justified in feeling that they can make up the ground on a side a League division above them, particularly as they carry a bit of momentum into the tie.

It’s one of those pairings where home advantage may ultimately be the difference for Meath, who you’d really have feared for if going to Markievicz Park.
